New Testament in a Year

²⁹ On the next day, he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, ^(A)the Lamb of God who ^(B)takes away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is He of whom I said, ‘^(C)After me comes a man who has been ^[a]ahead of me, ^(D)for He existed before me.’ ³¹ I did not know ^[b]Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing with water.” ³² And John ^(E)bore witness saying, “^(F)I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He abided on Him. ³³ And I did not know ^[c]Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, ^(G)this is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ ³⁴ And I myself have seen, and have borne witness that this is ^(H)the Son of God.”

Behold, the Lamb of God

^35 (I)On the next day, John again was standing ^[d]with two of his disciples, ³⁶ and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and *said, “Behold, ^(J)the Lamb of God!” ³⁷ And the two disciples heard him speak and followed Jesus. ³⁸ And when Jesus turned and noticed them following, He *said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “^(K)Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?” ³⁹ He *said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day. It was about the ^[e]tenth hour. ^40 (L)One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. ⁴¹ He first *found his own brother Simon and *said to him, “We have found the ^(M)Messiah” (which translated means ^[f]Christ). ⁴² He brought him to Jesus. When Jesus looked at him, He said, “You are Simon the son of ^(N)John; you shall be called ^(O)Cephas” (which is translated ^[g](P)Peter).

^43 (Q)On the next day, He desired to go into ^(R)Galilee, and He *found ^(S)Philip. And Jesus *said to him, “^(T)Follow Me.” ⁴⁴ Now ^(U)Philip was from ^(V)Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ^45 (W)Philip *found ^(X)Nathanael and *said to him, “We have found Him of whom ^(Y)Moses in the Law and also ^(Z)the Prophets wrote—Jesus of ^(AA)Nazareth, ^(AB)the son of Joseph.” ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, “^(AC)Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” ^(AD)Philip *said to him, “Come and see.” ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and *said about him, “Behold, truly an ^(AE)Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” ⁴⁸ Nathanael *said to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before ^(AF)Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered Him, “^(AG)Rabbi, You are ^(AH)the Son of God; You are the ^(AI)King of Israel.” ⁵⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” ⁵¹ And He *said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see ^(AJ)the heavens opened and ^(AK)the angels of God ascending and descending on ^(AL)the Son of Man.”
